"The Essence of a Life" by Aeterna Lumen
A child
Kicked, battered and bruised
Innocence stolen far too early
Are some paths truly destined for this?
“Perfect Nose” by Keith Basar
Through my eyes I see mystique and courage;
A sturdiness in character and resolve.
Acute angles emanate an inner confidence
and a valorous strength
like an invincible warrior of old.
